Please note: PotashCorp’s Purified Phosphate’s Metal Finishing products can be custom formulated to contain the amount of brightener and fume suppressant specified by each customer.
Aluminum Cleaning
A clean surface is required prior to implementing any aluminum finishing process. This can be accomplished with an alkaline cleaner alone or followed by an acid cleaner. It is crucial to match the cleaner to the soil type.
While the choice of cleaner(s) is determined by a number of factors, the most important are: type of soil to be removed (buffing compound, drawing oil, grease, wax, etc.), size and shape of part to be cleaned and final finish desired. Cleaning (or lack of good cleaning) is often the cause of problems further down the finishing line, due mostly to the incompatibility of metal and cleaner.
